Boy Seriously Injured in Bridgeport Fall

BRIDGEPORT — A 2-year-old boy suffered serious injuries Saturday morning when he fell from a second-floor porch on Summerfield Avenue in the city, police said.

Detectives on Sunday said that the child is now in stable condition, accoding to Bill Kaempffer, spokesman for the city's police and fire departments.

Firefighters and paramedics responded to the 9:30 a.m. incident and transported the boy first to Bridgeport Hospital and then to Yale-New Haven Hospital, said Kaempffer. Kaempffer said the boy's injuries were described as potentially life-threatening.

Kaempffer said a preliminary investigation indicated that at the time of the fall, the boy was with a non-relative who was also caring for a number of other children in the apartment.

Detectives with Bridgeport's Major Crime Squad and Youth Bureau are investigating and the state Department of Children and Families also was notified. No charges have been filed while the investigation continues.
